Dear spouse, I want you to know how much I love you and how much I want to see God work in our lives and in our relationship. When I married you, I made a covenant before God and man–a covenant of until death do we part. And my heart has not changed. However, you […]
It’s a question I am asked frequently: Should I stay in my marriage? It’s also a question I wrestled with for a very long time after I discovered my first husband’s infidelity. I had made a covenant before God and man, and it wasn’t something I took lightly. I had always been taught that scripture […]
How well do you know God? Do you enjoy meeting with Him every day? Is He the first thing on your mind each morning? Do you crave time with Him? With His word? Do you look forward to His sweet whispers throughout your day? Do you sense His presence in every sunrise and sunset? Do […]
Ten years ago when I started this journey, college was nowhere on my radar. This past weekend, my baby–the youngest of my three children–moved off to college. I am honestly still in shock, uncertain how it’s even possible that she’s is 18 and a high school graduate. But, here we are, watching my baby leave […]

So much has happened over the last few weeks… In my personal life and in this country. Two weeks ago, my sweet boy stood before man and God and pledged to love, honor, and cherish the sweetest young lady. It was a beautiful evening, and I was so proud of him–and excited to welcome another […]
This morning, I had a headline pop up on my phone: “Bombshell 400-page report finds Southern Baptist leaders routinely silenced sexual abuse survivors” I clicked on the link out of curiosity as to what this secular news agency had to say, knowing that there’s often a bias against Christianity. However, like most of you, I […]
My precious middle child, Have I told you how much you are loved? I know you say you are the invisible middle child, but I pray you know how much you are truly loved. Your sister is graduating this week. As always when your child graduates, there’s an extreme mixture of emotions. Pride. Excitement. Sadness. […]
